How to Enrage a Democrat

May 17, 2008

If nothing else, we now know what it takes to make a Democrat go nuts. One word: "appeasement."

Notwithstanding that President Bush named no names in his speech to Israel's Knesset on Thursday, Barack Obama instantly called it a "false political attack." On him, of course.

To House Speaker Nancy Pelosi it was "beneath the dignity of the office of the President."

"Offensive and outrageous," thundered Hillary Clinton from somewhere in South Dakota, followed by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid: "reckless and irresponsible."

When the party's top four Democrats come roaring out of the blocks in unison, something has hit a nerve.....

Easist way to enrage any Democrat is to speak the truth.

Took all the way to the 2nd post to get the answer.

Obama's rant was a major blunder!

If he had remained quiet, President Bush's speech would have been quietly been sweeped under the rug by the media and no one would have ever heard the comments again.

Now it's the leading story of the mainstream media : "Obama the appeaser takes comment personally"

What a complete child he is! Well, the entire DNC for that matter. It's like their head all exploded at once the moment they were revealed.

Oh, to have an actual leader in the race...

If one wants to enrage a democrat ask specifically how B. Hussein Obama is as or more qualified than the Dan Quayle they all laughed at 20 years ago.

At the far edge of the topic, perhaps, but it’s about the Dims being thin-skinned, etc.

MSNBC (don’t blame me for this) was on the TV this morning. The talking heads were showing the Repub commercial with MsHell Obamination saying her bit about how this was the first time she was ever proud of her country, and it was interspersed with folks who said they had always loved this country, and then MO again, and so on.

So these MSNBC pasty wimps started the conversation with one guy describing the ad and Michelle being “used” in this way, by asking the other pansy, “Is this fair?”

That’s what caught my attention, and I saw the MSNBC logo and was flabbergasted at the incoherency of it all.

Give all of the liberal dems a free plane ride to Iran and let them see how far they get with the gay marriage/abortion/tax increases/gun control/education/religion/and other political issues. Their heads would explode within the first hour there.

“I thought Bush was slamming Jimmy Karter...”

According to Matt Drudge this a.m., he was.

To be a self-identified Democrat these days you must have some of these traits:

1) Authority issues - Stems from “Why don’t you love me Daddy?”. The government is ‘big brother’ paranoia. ‘You can’t tell me to say the Pledge of Allegiance”, etc. The government is “censoring me”.

2) Intelligence issues - Liberals argue based on emotion rather than logic or reason. When corned in debate, they automatically attack the messenger or ignore the facts when confronted with reality.

3) Hatred issues - many liberals Hate — with a capital H. They hate the USA, they hate the military, they hate corporations - you know ... the things that made America into the most free, most successful country on Earth.

4) Faith issues - many Democrats don’t believe in God. They view religious people as hicks with a mythology fixation. If you don’t believe in God then there is no consequence for your actions.

5) Moral Relevance issues - Hey, you don’t question my perverse lifestyle and I won’t question yours. They believe the USA is ‘occupier’, an ‘empire’, and equate our troops as terrorists and terrorists as ‘freedom fighters’.

6) Racial Issues- Democrats tend to be racists. They believe that minorities NEED their help and incapable of bettering themselves without public assistance. They then take minority groups for granted in elections by demanding party loyalty for the trillions in public welfare programs they lavished on them over the past 4 decades.

7) Lastly, and most sadly; Democrats only provide criticism and not solutions to issues affecting Americans.

RUSH: This guy is Clinton, Jr. This is pathological. A rational analysis of this is a waste of time. It's just a pure waste of time, trying to explain to people why Obama's lying through his teeth. His supporters don't want to hear that he's lying through his teeth because they already hate Bush, so whatever Obama says -- but I mean this is just sewage, what he said is sewage, pure, unadulterated drivel.

Democrats Throw Fit Over Bush's Truthful Statement on Appeasement

Obama Whines, Divides and Lies

RUSH: With Obama we started out, we couldn't talk about his big ears 'cause that made him nervous. We've gone from that to this: Not only can we not mention his ears...

We can't talk about his mother.

We can't talk about his father.

We can't talk about his grandmother unless he does, brings her up as a "typical white person."

We can't talk about his wife, can't talk about his preacher, can't talk about his terrorist friends, can't talk about his voting record, can't talk about his religion.

We can't talk about appeasement.

We can't talk about color; we can't talk about lack of color.

We can't talk about race. We can't talk about bombers and mobsters who are his friends. We can't talk about schooling. We can't talk about his name, "Hussein."

We can't talk about his lack of experience. Can't talk about his income. Can't talk about his flag pin.

This started out we can't call him a liberal.

It started out we just couldn't talk about his ears.

Now we can't say anything about him.

“When corned in debate, they automatically attack the messenger or ignore the facts when confronted with reality.”

No, I think most liberals would be ok with that.

I’ll bet a one word bumper sticker that said “Appeasers!” would be enough to start all kinds of trouble. lol I want one. +++++++++++++++ You'd probably get arrested for incitement under hate crime laws.
